To the out-of-the-box bride who wants to embrace her style on her wedding day, to the travel-obsessed bride who wants more money for the honeymoon, to the impatient bride who gasps at the idea of waiting four months for a wedding dress from a bridal shop, and to the rest... this one is for you!

Embrace the tone that fashion currently has today. Anything goes! A wedding dress is no longer categorized as a ballgown frosted with sparkles and dolloped with major Cinderella vibes. As a bride, you can wear midi, maxi, mini, black, blue, two-piece, jumper... whatever your heart desires! Use this to your advantage and find a dress that isn't defined necessarily as a wedding dress. This will keep your costs low (yay for more honeymoon money), and you'll have months for alterations if needed.

Don't be intimidated by ordering online. A good seamstress can take your online-ordered dress with ease and alter it to your desire. If you're worried about getting the right size, order two different sizes and return whichever one didn't fit the best. Take a look at these amazing options below and thank me later!
